And
here, the beautiful Princess Lana rules the Palace of Power in the absence of
her father, good King Charles.

Once,
there was a balance to all things in Videoland. For each world there was a
hero, and for each hero, an arch-villain. Mother Brain changed all that, by
uniting the forces of evil on all worlds to form a single deadly alliance that
nothing could stop! On that day, the League of Darkness was born.

Mother
Brain had tipped the balance of power. A champion was needed to unite the
forces of light! The Ultimate Warp Zone found him…

…in Northridge,
California.

Kevin Keene – the hottest
Nintendo Power Player on the face of the Earth!

He was playing
video games when it happened. Super Mario Brothers, in fact. But, suddenly
something happened to the screen and it began to pull him in! With his dog
following, he disappeared from Earth.

Kevin alone had
the knowledge of the video game world needed to defeat Mother Brain. Kevin
would no longer be just another high school kid. He was now Captain N: The Game
Master!

Upon reaching this
strange new universe Kevin was greeted by Lana, his new princess and fellow
member of the N Team.

“Welcome to
Videoland, Kevin,” she said, “where the games are real and the fate of the
Universe is in your hands.”
